5 Men’s Fashion Trends To Look Out For This Winter

Mens Fashion Trends
Lately, the fashion industry has become more focused on menswear, and therefore, men have become more eager to experiment with clothes out of their comfort zone. Of course, dressing up stylishly doesn’t mean you have to wear whatever you see on runways, but it can help you get inspired.

From Menswear Paris Fashion Week to the Milano Fashion Week, big fashion houses like Armani, Moschino, and Prada have contributed to men’s fashion by making celebrities participate in these runways. David Beckham, Channing Tatum, and Sean O’Pry are only a few names that have modeled for major brands. So, let’s see what we can expect this winter for menswear and what other runways are planned to occur.

Vests

Vests are coming back, but they’re not for your average dad look. Nowadays, vests can be worn as a staple piece or an assessor layer, given that there are so many different styles, fabrics, and colors. Sweater vests by Ralph Lauren or Thom Browne are the best-looking vests out there, and they’re easy to pair with some simple pants and a pearl necklace. Then, you can include sleeveless waistcoats in casual outfits, even if they’re made for suits.

Two years ago, at London’s Fashion Week Men’s Autumn/Winter, Virgil Abloh introduced utility vests as a statement piece (and utility garments overall) to wear under your overcoat. Or you can wear them over the top, oversized or not, combining the elegant style with street style.

On another runway, you could see Timothée Chalament with a harness-like vest worn over the shirt. These vests are made for more formal events, but if you want one for a more casual outfit, you can try a heavy-duty rubber harness to pair it with close-cut tailoring. You can find a great harness cotton-blend poplin shirt made by Alexander McQueen to complete your outfit.

Neck accessories

Men’s fashion hasn’t really focused on neck accessories until recently when pearled and colorful necklaces have become trendy and easy to style with almost any outfit. And that’s not all! Bandanas, bowties, brooches, and scarves are also statement pieces. Some popular combinations right now are silver and gold necklaces with or without pendants. Then, chains with relatively flat loops spaced close together can be worn on any occasion, but they look amazing with only a white T-shirt.

A more interesting trend consists of colorful chokers for men that can be worn with just about anything, while medium-length necklaces go well with a non-turndown collar. Lastly, long chains or cords are to be styled with a V-neckline shirt or a few open buttons from your shirt.

If you want to gift a friend with a necklace, it would be best to think of something less colorful or bold, especially if he’s not used to wearing one. Pack it in a lovely gift bag and put some red bow and ribbons on it, along with a gift tag to show them how much you appreciate their style.

Exaggerated shoulders

We know that you already may have large shoulders, but it’s not a problem if you want to try clothes with exaggerated shoulders. The 80s trend is back (without the high-waisted pants, though), and it can be paired with angular structured pants to create a balanced look.

Some of these pieces are called double-breasted coats, and they’re flattering for every guy (but especially if you’re more of a lean man). You can find such a piece at Dolce & Gabbana, one that you can pair with clothes to make a formal and casual outfit at the same time. The wool-blend, peak lapels perfectly fit a guy’s figure.

On ASOS, for example, you can see such a double-breasted coat paired with a hoodie, and it’s got an oversized fit with padded shoulders and notch lapels too. Meanwhile, Rick Owen’s long-sleeved plain coat made of 96% virgin wool is the perfect item for winter (you can wear it with almost any pair of pants and boots).

Leather

Leather is one timeless wardrobe staple, and it’s back on the market to be worn with plenty of interesting materials and textures. From draped leather trousers to polished leather jackets, nothing leather-made is not trendy. For winter, leather and fur especially make a great combination.

Maybe the coolest items are versatile leather biker jackets (which can be combined with ripped denim and a vintage wash T-shirt and Derby shoes). At the same time, you can have a leather jacket over your hoodie, wear it over a collared shirt or pair it with a shirt and tie for more formal events.

Leather pants are also versatile because you can pair them with a denim jacket, a basic blazer, sneakers and even go with the double-weather look. Skinny leather pants can bring out more of your figure so that you can wear oversize pieces in the upper part of your body, but you also have the option of wearing baggy leather pants.

Baggy jeans

Another 90’ and 2000s staple (it seems like almost any piece back then was a big hit), baggy jeans are back to being styled like nothing before. Reinvented and reimagined, these clothing pieces were adored by celebrities back in the day, and now you can wear them too without looking weird. So, what can you pair baggy jeans with? Here are some outfit ideas:

⦁ Wearing a chunky coat and some boots will balance the baggy jeans. In this way, your oversized overall look won’t be too big or heavy-looking because it’s all about the proportions.

⦁ Cropped baggy jeans can get you a tailored look despite the wide leg. You can wear them with a plain T-shirt and some sneakers.

⦁ A leather bomber jacket goes great with baggy jeans because you can have a broad natural fit, whereas the jeans don’t necessarily dominate the look.

⦁ If you’re looking for a relaxed outfit, you can pair your baggy jeans with sportswear and have that rapper-kind of look.

⦁ Finally, a casual shirt and some sneakers will make you look good without breaking the proportions of the baggy pants.
